How many people fit in the Lay-Z-Spa Boracay?
Lay-Z-Spa sells it for up to 4 people. It measures 180 cm across, 66 cm high on the outside, and the walls take up part of that. It holds about 669 litres of water. Makers count seats generously, so plan on fewer adults for real comfort.
Does the Lay-Z-Spa Boracay have water jets?
No. It has 120 air bubble jets only. They feel relaxing but do not massage like water jets do.
Can I plug the Lay-Z-Spa Boracay into a normal socket?
Tubs like this run from a 13 A socket. Use a weatherproof outdoor socket with RCD protection and no extension lead. On many inflatables the heater and the bubbles cannot run at the same time.
What guarantee comes with the Lay-Z-Spa Boracay?
Up to 2 years from the maker. Guarantees on hot tubs often split between the liner and the pump, so check the terms.
How much does the Lay-Z-Spa Boracay cost?
The last price we saw was £390, about £98 per seat. Hot tub prices climb before summer and drop around Black Friday, and the retailer shows the current price.
